Will you design my Valentine?

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and, depending on your relationship status, you’re either: booking a romantic dinner for two, or, picking out your favourite all-black ensemble for the dreaded day.

This year, why not celebrate Valentine’s Day with Yahoo!7 Answers by creating the ultimate Answers Valentine! But here’s the twist: we know that for many of you, Valentine’s Day isn’t all roses and chocolates, so here’s the challenge.

We want you to submit EITHER your sweetest Valentine or, the best anti-Valentine you can come up with.

REMEMBER, your Valentine must still follow the Yahoo!7 Answers Community Guidelines and the Yahoo!7 Terms of Service, so don’t: rant, use hate speech, use suggestive language, be offensive, or say anything that might not be appropriate for anyone under the age of 13. If you wouldn’t show it to your grandma, don’t post it here.

Since we know Valentine’s day is often a crafty holiday, we’ve again, partnered with our friends over at Flickr to create an Answers Flickr pool where you can upload your Valentine.

If you choose to upload an image, please do not upload photographs of yourself: instead, please download the Yamster –  Sites like Picnick have again, provided holiday scenes and smooches appropriate for Valentine’s day, but feel free to search the web for more!

You’re not limited to using just the Yamster, but please remember, no photographs of people or body parts will be permitted.

Not feeling crafty? Don’t worry– we’ve posted an open question here where you can share your plans for February 14th with us. If you’re feeling creative, post your  favourite love poems, sonnets, or, anti-Valentine’s day card messages below.

Whatever you decide to do, don’t delay, as all submissions are due by February 15th at 12 Noon. We’ll review all submissions and will select winners based on creativity, and dedication, so be sure to put your heart into it! Winners will be posted by the end of the day on Monday, February 15th and will receive bonus points on Yahoo!7 Answers.

UPDATE: We’ve decided to extend the competition until Monday afternoon at 12 noon!

Good luck!

  3. Hey there Anna,

    If you are submitting a poem or message, just submit it here, but be sure to include the Yahoo! email address associated with your Answers account in the email address section so we can contact you if you win! (don’t worry, email addresses are hidden publically).

    Thanks, and good luck!! :)

  10. you should always give blood to help others in need, because others will turn against you in your hour of need.

  11. I don’t know if the line has closed… But..

    why are the clouds in the sky above? the moon shine bright at night?
    why does the ocean breeze taste like salt, the sun give radiant light?
    there always is an answer, there always is a reason.
    the leaves need to begin to fall to continue with the season.
    all things were made for another… in perfect harmony…
    i believe that is why you are here, because (name), my reason, you were made for me.
    I LOVE YOU

    Happy Valentines Day
